Off the top of my head: Sam Worthington running, Danny Boyle directing.

reply

Agree on Worthington. Crowe is too old IMO.

If a remake were made would it be based off this movie or more off the original novella? The original novella had a ending that might bother anyone who were affected by 911 as it ends with the running man crashing a plane into the building that houses the studios that produce the show. I hope though that if the do choose to end the movie this way people will take it as a sign that we can deal with tragedy without having to censor ourselves.

The only difference between religion and superstition is the spelling.

Jesus, you know remakes are getting out of hand when people start hypothetically talking about one.

Sly Stallone can still do it,lol

reply

No remake for me but if there were then maybe Chris Hemsworth or Sam Worthington.

Edward Norton as Ben Richards and Samuel L Jackson as KIllian if the movie is based off the book.

If its a remake of the movie. Vin Diesel as Richards and Regis Philbin as Killian.
